Napster Has Been Cracked

Actually no, it isn't. Hypocritical, cynical, coincidental, more likely. But still I find it amusing that crackers get cracked, pirates get pirated, violators get violated. Can they see how we, musicians, feel now? Or would they rather say: Oh, we got cracked, but that's OK because the information wants to be free? I doubt it. I hope they can feel what I felt when I had to quit playing guitar and start working in accounting because we couldn't sell our albums. The funny thing is that we haven't been playing and recording anything since 1999 but the old songs from the albums that we couldn't sell are still on P2P. The sad thing is that there will be no more songs for us, so I hope you enjoy listening to the old ones. This is the real world folks. You decided that you don't want new music from us and we will respect your choice, working in banks, driving delivery trucks and flipping freaking hamburgers. This is your choice. In capitalism you vote with your wallet.
At least with iTunes once you've bought a track, you've paid for it. Who really cares what you do with it after. Everyone is getting their slice of the action.
Uhm, yeah. As long as you don't mind being stuck with an Apple and Sony only MP3 player.
Then there's their little tizzy over PlayFair
'Cause life is all about choices.
Religion is for people afraid of going to hell.
Let's also blame the FBI for not catching the music crooks, congress for not outlawing the practice, and the Pope for not making it a Sin.
No, lets place the blame where it belongs. On the assholes who are doign it.
Lets see the FBI is busting people who distribute large amounts of copyrighted material. Congress has outlawed the practice, the NET act of 1997 forbids it, and the pope does condemn theft as a sin.
The problem is that people are proud to say "I download 8 gigs from napster and have cracked it all" now where the fuck is the fair use in that? IT is theft of service PURE AND SIMPLE.
